Cai Jing stared at Lu Dafang's corpse, his expression kept changing, and his heart was even more angry.

He was thinking about the grievances and grievances with Lu Dafang in his heart, and the fact that Lu Dafang must have gotten the news in advance, so he chose to commit suicide.

Committing suicide at this time, I don't know what the consequences will be?!

Cai Jing quickly calmed down, thinking about the recent disappointment, every time he tried to save the Sacred Heart, it was thankless, and now Lu Dafang died in his prison!

Cai Jing's expression was gloomy, his eyes showed resentment, and he almost roared: "Does anyone else know the news?" ”

The squire hurriedly said: "No, no, I blocked the news as soon as possible, and now these people know." ”

The corners of Cai Jing's eyes twitched, his facial features were distorted in pain, and he alternated hatred and anger in his heart, but he couldn't think of any way, and said, "You guys are watching here, and I will enter the palace to meet the official." ”

The waiter nodded again and again, someone took the blame, so it was naturally best.

……

The killing of Zaifu and many high-ranking officials is unprecedented!

Guozijian.

The professor, who was in class, heard the news and suddenly rushed out.

The students were even more fryers, gossiping, and talking about it.

Lu Xianggong ...... Decisive decision? A student was stunned and stammered.

"No, no, it's impossible, I've never beheaded Zaisuke, it must be a fake ......"

"Yes, yes, someone is spreading rumors, just to attack Lu Xianggong, it must be fake......"

"The princes of the imperial court, Your Majesty, how can you allow Lu Xianggong to be beheaded, this is impossible!"

They couldn't believe it, and then rushed out of the academy and scurried around the country.

At this time, the Guozijian had already exploded, and countless people were running and shouting, but it was still unbelievable.

Almost everyone in the restaurants and tea shops and Qinglou Song Shops everywhere is not interested, even those who have been addicted to wine for many years.

In the rented houses to the south of the Gongyuan, the Jinshi who were waiting to fill the vacancy were also shocked, looking at the direction of the palace in amazement.

Lu Dafang's case has been boiling for a while, and the whole capital knows that it will not be good, but the 'decisive decision' is still beyond their imagination and subverts their cognition!

They looked at each other in astonishment, unable to speak.

Zong Ze sat on the chair and looked at the herbs in front of him, he had been calculating the direction of Lu Dafang's matter, and calculating possible clues, but now, these are useless!

How could he have guessed that Lu Dafang's final fate would be 'decisive decision'!

At the same time, the inspection department of Kaifeng Mansion poured out of the nest and deployed in the entire Kaifeng Prefecture.

The other yamen were arranged by Zhang Dan, and their actions were frequent, as if they were facing a great enemy.

In Kaifeng City, there is no place that is calm!

At this time, Cai Jing hurriedly came to the outside of the Funing Hall and cautiously handed over to the Yellow Gate that greeted him.

When this yellow door heard 'Lu Dafang hanged himself', he was startled and hurriedly ran inside.

In the study, Zhao Xu and Chu You explained, and finally, said with a smile: "There is no need to be nervous, there will be no major incident, just in case." ”

Chu You's expression was solemn, he knelt on one knee, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, the ministers will go back, and never let the Ma Military Division and the Bu Military Division move around!" ”

Zhao Xu shook his head with a smile and said, "They all said don't be so nervous." Go ahead and relax. ”

"Yes." Chu You's mouth responded, his expression became more and more serious, and he left quickly.

Chen Pi saw that he was finished, walked in quickly, and whispered in front of Zhao Xu: "Official, Cai Jing is here, he said, Lu Dafang is in prison and hanged himself." ”

Zhao Xu raised his left eyebrow fiercely, and was about to take the teacup for a moment, and then slowly sat back with an expressionless face.

He didn't expect Lu Dafang to commit suicide, but Lu Dafang's death was bound to make waves again.

Zhao Xu pondered again and again, and said lightly: "If you die, you will die, let Cai Jing go to see Xianggong Zhang." ”

Chen Pi was a little worried, and said, "Official, don't you do something?" ”

Zhao Xu glanced at him and said indifferently: "After today, we don't need to do everything ourselves." ”

Chen Pi didn't seem to understand, so he had to say: "Yes." ”

Chen Pi walked out of Zhao Xu's study, and Cai Jing quickly got the message, but his expression was solemn and silent.

It's not just that the official family handled this matter too casually, but also because the official family didn't see him!

Cai Jing regretted that he was too cautious before and lost the opportunity, and now it is extremely difficult to save the sacred heart.

He stood in front of the door of the Funing Palace, hesitated, and then turned around and went to the blue tile house in the east of the vertical arch hall.

Zhang Dian and Cai Bian in the green tile house are busy with their feet not touching the ground, not only to deal with the cases of Lu Dafang and others, to close, to wrap up, and to deal with the aftermath; We still have to stabilize the situation, and there are too many things to do in the future.

Not long after, Cai Jing came out of the green tile house.

He was accompanied by Zhao Bi, the thirteenth brother of the Great Song Dynasty's official family, Wang Zhao of Puning County, and Cai Bian, the governor of the political affairs.

Zhang Dian sat in the Qingwa house, and with the support of Zhao Xu, he began to whip the entire Kaifeng City, and even the entire Great Song Dynasty.

The six departments and seven temples of the three provinces were all mobilized by him, and the Kaifeng Mansion, the Inspection Division, the Imperial City Division and other errands filled the entire Kaifeng City.

Orders from the government hall and newspapers were sent out from the palace and spread throughout the country.

In less than a stick of incense, Kaifeng City was plastered with notices.

'Lü Dafang and his henchmen fornicated with the Xia people and betrayed the Great Song Dynasty', 'Your Majesty was angry, and the Zichen Palace was decided', 'Lü Dafang committed suicide in fear of crime', and 'The three legal divisions openly tried Lü Dafang's case of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country'......

These notices were plastered all over Kaifeng City, and they strongly reversed public opinion.

Inside Dali Temple.

Cai Bian sat in the main seat, Ma Yan and Cao Zheng sat with him, and Zhao seemed to sit in the upper left corner.

The expressions of several people were almost constant and tense, and they were ready for battle.

This is the trial of Zaifu, the Great Song Dynasty, nothing like this has happened!

The officials held the killing rod and stood awe-inspiringly. The door was crowded with people, talking to each other.

Cai Bian did not entangle, adhered to the word 'speed', and immediately started the trial.

The first person to be tried was naturally Lu Dafang, although he committed suicide in fear of crime, but all kinds of human and material evidence were very detailed, and Cai Bian almost spread it out, especially for the people watching outside the door, he couldn't wait to stick it into the minds of each of them.

As Lu Dafang's case was almost made public, the mood of the scholars in Kaifeng City was full of twists and turns, one after another.

Before the trial of Dali Temple was over, angry young scholars rushed into the Lu family and smashed it.

Some people even spoke fiercely in the book, saying that the punishment of Lu Dafang and other henchmen was 'too lenient', and the wind was one-sided.

In the evening, when the Dali Temple was about to finish the trial, the scholars in Kaifeng City, who had nowhere to vent their anger, smashed the mansion of Lu Dafang and his henchmen, and even rushed into the prison of the Criminal Department.

Funing Temple.

Zhao Xu kept staring outside, listening to reports from everywhere.

Tong Guan stood in front of Zhao Xu, bowed tallly, and said, "Official, there are more than 20 arsons in Kaifeng City, and dozens of fights and brawls have been properly handled. Although there is chaos outside the palace, everything is under control. The forbidden army outside the city did not move. ”

Zhao Xu hugged the teacup and said with a smile: "Zhang Dian, Cai Bian is still very capable......

Tong Guan didn't dare to speak, his eyes were full of caution.

As soon as Lu Dafang died, it triggered many chain reactions, from Cining Hall to Kaifeng City, and then to Kaifeng City, the entire Great Song Dynasty would be alarmed, and the turbulent waves were afraid to come in waves.

Tong Guan couldn't guess what would happen, but the impact would definitely be very big!

Zhao Xu held the teacup and thought for a long time, and said, "Let Shen Qi come to see me, and the thirteenth brother will bring it over as soon as he returns to the palace." A few days later, General Xu was called into the palace. By the way, Zeng Bu is sick? ”

Chen Pi answered: "Yes, in Heyang, it is said that it took more than a day to wake up. ”

Zhao Xu nodded lightly, Zeng Bu is almost sixty people, in a hurry to hurry, it is normal to be a little sick.

Zhao Xu glanced at the direction of Cining Hall again, exhaled lightly, and said, "Some of them are busy next." ”

Zhao Xu next is really busy.

Constantly receiving courtiers, princes and nobles, promoting, rewarding, and appeasing the chaotic people's hearts.

On the third day, the three law divisions 'beheaded' a total of 11 Lu Dafang's henchmen, and the onlookers all applauded.

And between the government and the opposition, it is even more boiling.

There are more than a dozen copies of the impeachment of Yang Wei a day. Zhang Dian, Cai Bian, Cai Jing and others couldn't escape, and many officials attacked Zhang again and again, and they were furious.

In addition, the number of impeachment scripts for Su Song suddenly increased day by day, and the rhetoric was very intense, turning him into 'Lu Dafang's henchmen who slipped through the net'.

With the issuance of various news and the newspaper of the imperial court, the Luzhou Mansion outside Beijing and so on have also been written.

The time for 'closing the case in five days' has not yet passed, and the government and the opposition have already become a mess.

The fourth day, the beginning of May.

Zhao Xu used to bow with the guards, and his practice was covered with sweat and his whole body was comfortable.

After the end, Zhao Xu sat on the steps, wiping his sweat, drinking herbal tea, and listening to Chen Pi's report.

"Official, the case of Lu Dafang is basically about to be concluded, and the discussion is boiling. The people who Zhang Xianggong wants to recall are basically all here, and they have already taken office, and they are just waiting for the trial in the political affairs hall. Sixty percent of the military salary on Huanqing Road was raised, and Zhang Xiangcheng was arranging escorts. The raids on Lu Dafang's henchmen are still being counted, and the amount will be very ...... Huge ......"

Zhao Xu listened carefully, wiped the sweat on his head, and said, "Well, tell Zhang Dan, Cai Bian, continue to sort out the court situation, but don't overly punish him." In addition, the proceeds of this confiscation, except for grain, bulky things, cash, gold, silver, jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings, etc., were all escorted into the inner treasury. ”

Chen Pi said: "Yes." ”

Zhao Xu glanced at the door and said with a smile: "At this time, Xu Shangshu should be here, right?" ”

Chen Pi looked back, estimated the time in his heart, and before he could turn around, he saw General Xu standing at the door.

Zhao Xu smiled and stood up from the steps.

General Xu had already been here twice, and Zhao Xu chatted with him very happily. General Xu has the ability and good character, and the most important thing is that although he supports the reform of the law, he is not among the 'old and new' parties, and has been idle from the imperial court for several years.

"The ministers see the officials." Xu Jiang came to the front and raised his hand.

Zhao Xu looked around and said, "I won't wash up, let Xu Qing's family wait." Let's go for a walk in the Imperial Garden. ”

Xu Jiang calmly responded, followed Zhao Xu's side, and walked towards the Imperial Garden.

Chen Pi took a few steps slower, blocking the group behind him.

After walking for a while, General Xu said: "Official, the minister has gone to the military department yesterday to do some understanding, and the Xiang army is currently relatively scattered, with a total of about 400,000. The minister's plan is to strictly select according to the procedures for the selection of the forbidden army, and then stationed in the east of Kaifeng, and the matter is already being prepared, and the current difficulties lie in two: one is to command the envoys, and the other is to be subordinate. The minister is worried that there will be some obstacles on the side of the Privy Council and the government hall. ”

If they want to expand the army, establish a new army, and hand it over to the imperial court, the courtiers will naturally not object, but if it is built outside the control of the imperial court, they will not agree.

Zhao Xu listened, thought for a while, and said: "This is simple, continue to be placed under the name of the front division of the palace, but it belongs to the commander of the military department, and I will dispatch it as my pro-army!" ”
